YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.

All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.



Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:

**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

The stems and leaves are virtually tasteless and make eating strawberries easier. They even have nutritional value!

Why YSK: It's an easy way to eat strawberries faster and with less mess while reducing food waste.

I mean technically you're supposed to be able to eat the brown fuzzy skin on kiwis but I'm not going to be doing that

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 years ago (2 children)

You're missing out! Kiwis are great to eat whole. Way less messy as well (no need to dirty a knife or a spoon to eat them). Plus as an added bonus you get to freak out people who don't know that you can eat the skin!

[–] Glifted 30 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I once ate a whole kiwi in front of my wife. That's the closest we ever came to getting a divorce.

[–] SpaceNoodle 7 points 2 years ago

She stayed with you even though you're a cannibal - that's the kind of devotion you rarely see any more these days.

[–] thirdtower 3 points 2 years ago

That must be one rock solid relationship.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Another plus, it contains a lot of nutrition value of the fruit. But the kiwi should be of better quality as everything used on the growing field can also potentially be found in the skin.

Also, slices of kiwi, including skin, are perfect on a pizza margherita. My go to pizza if I have some kiwis left.

[–] Kroxx 12 points 2 years ago

Yeah I'm with ya! I'll continue to lick all those brown fuzzy fibers off the fruit and proceed to cough it all up like a hairball before eating like GOD intended!

[–] zammy95 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

One of my best friends swears by eating the skin. Haven't tried, I'm scared. Lol

[–] Serpent 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I eat it.. honestly, it is delicious. Slightly bitter and sour whilst adding some nice texture.

See if you can get some golden kiwis, then they don't even have hairs on the skin

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah the golden kiwis are there to be eaten whole

[–] greenmarty 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Main reason I don't eat it is that it's unclear to me what else am I eating with the hairy skin of kiwi. It's not that easy to clean as let's say apple. And in random cases it causes peoeple to get mouth ulcers.

[–] dotancohen 4 points 2 years ago

I started suffering mouth ulcers shortly after independently discovering that the kiwi skin is edible. It took some time to figure out what the cause was, because the sores would develop days after eating them.

[–] Aeoneir 0 points 2 years ago

Try golden kiwis. They're hairless, it makes eating the skin so much easier
